The November 2, 2026 puzzle ran from an American bullfrog at 15 cm to an adult giraffe at 5.2 m — about 35× apart, drawing on animals. The pair furthest apart was round 1: a hippopotamus is about 1.3× smaller than a family sedan.
Answer: Hippopotamus — 3.5 m. A hippopotamus measures 3.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.3× smaller than the reference, a family sedan at 4.6 m.
A hippo can reach 3.5 metres despite its compact silhouette.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a hippopotamus when it sits beside a family sedan — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: Adult Giraffe — 5.2 m. An adult giraffe measures 5.2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, Lugia at 5.2 m.
Adult giraffes commonly stand between 4.5 and 5.5 metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an adult giraffe when it sits beside Lugia — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
